Thanks for the book link - I'll study these. Exhaust fan? When the ambient temp is 90 degrees plus, and the temperature of the air being drawn in is 90 degrees, and the tent is open, how can exhausting the hot air into the outside hot air, then replacing it with the same 90 degree hot air be...

Chuckle - and I bet UR just groaning at the way I went about it! Well, if I had your knowledge and experience, you can bet I'd have done it all differently. This was my first grow. I can promise you that - thanks to your help - the next one will be infinitely better.

Well - I'm delighted I got anything at all, even with me messing up the flowering period! I'm living on a small island and there is no way I'm going to risk growing outside. Probably 3/4 of the island is inland and looks deserted - mainly thin scrub and jungle. But somebody owns the land - and...

Thanks for this - I got myself into a mindset where I was convinced that things weren't working in the flowering stage, so I more or less gave up. Only yesterday I was reading more about flowering and realised that I'd messed up. Like you say, I should have stuck it out. I didn't know that...

Tropical Grow - suck it n see. Before I began this project, I posted maybe a dozen messages on forums in Europe and America. I needed help and advice on how to grow herb in a humid tropical climate with more or less a year-round 12-12 spread of daylight. Nobody could help me. So I tried it the...

Well my tent has a 24-inch ceiling, so a couple of HIDs going across the 5-foot length, 18-inches above the plants, isn't really viable! The heat given off by the CFLs is hardly anything 18 inches away. But thanks for the info - I'll keep that in mind. This is a pic of one plant at 10 weeks...

Here's a question for you - I've noticed that there are several buds now with brown hairs. One plant, for example, has 7 colas forming, and all of the buds have dense white hairs apart from three. I reckon that these three buds were fertilised by the rogue hermies. I assume that it's safe to...

Chuckle - well I was dumb enough to think that because I put wheels on the table under the growtent, I could turn it round to the window to get the sunlight in the afternoon. So I bought myself a lux meter and started with 4x 45-watt CFLs plus two cheap Chinese red/blue (proper ones) 55-watt...

Try again with the long post! I bought the seeds from Herbies in the UK. But I don't think the seeds are the problem! Thing is, I'm living in the tropics, with ambient temps going between 86 degrees and 93 degrees - and that's with no lights on in my growtent. (When the temp gets to around...

ps - I deleted the initial photos, as I realised they're on my photobucket album and anyone can scroll thru! Now reposted from a different account.

Hi fellas. I posted a long reply here, with 4 or 5 photos. It was marked for the moderator's approval. That was three days ago and it's not appeared yet! But now they are going thu OK. Odd!

Hi - my first successful grow. I'm using feminized seeds but this one has gone all perverted, I think. This should be a female Cotton Candy on the 10th day of 12-12 growth. But check out the clearest pic at the top, just under my finger is what I think is a make preflower. Can anyone confirm...
